I'd ask what the hell happened to this thread. But this is actually rather tame, honestly.

I'm suddenly picturing a Yoko Taro take on WH40K, and I can only imagine it turning out eerily similar to If The Emperor Had A Text-To-Speech Device.

I was kind of hoping they'd go for what one poster suggested earlier and have the player just suddenly be at the base without getting any of this because 9S forgot. Also I'm just now remembering that black boxes are a thing because wow they sure did never get referenced again even once throughout all of Route A.

Biting my tongue.... Hey, what a great update? Did everyone notice how great that update was? It was the tops of the top of the last page, yessiree that update. I haven't played Persona 5 on account of having no (desire to get a) PS4, so I have a lesser appreciation of the joke, I fear. And Atlus' draconian LP rules mean I haven't even experienced it vicariously through other people in 30-40 minute chunks of terrible gameplay and commentary that ranges from moderately humorous to nail-pullingly painful.

Engel's head sure is stable for a giant robot who's being whacked by its own arm. Let's see... There's only 2 short scenario where 9S' path separate from 2B in the main story. First is when 9S managed to blow himself from Flooded City all the way to Copied City and got captured. And then during the cult segment, he assists 2B and Pascal using a robot. Did he really able to control machine lifeform in actual gameplay?

I originally thought that 2B was straight up shooting the struts out of her rear end cheeks at first, not that she was sitting on a little holo stool. Took me until route B and seeing 9S sit on it to figure it out.

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but someone actually understands the Cell (or however that insane PS3 CPU is called) enough to write a recompiler. I'll have to bookmark the site for my next PC

So glad we're into the second route where Id can do more of his dialogue. Unfortunately I haven't played P5 so I was wondering if someone was going to explain what song they were singing - so thanks!

It's the death of your current self that's the issue. Sure, you can die knowing that you just pop back into existence on the bunker, but the you who existed then and there at the moment of death is gone forever.

KamikazePotato posted:I really like the contrast this segment has with Route A. In Route A you're hacking and slashing and doing crazy cutscene stuff that's Metal Gear Rising-ish. In Route B you're nearly dead and fending off basic stubbies as you desperately try to find a way to still provide support. I thought in route A 9S was just leisurely flying around the outside of the factory when he fucks off after first meeting up with 2B, with 2B doing all the mopping up of machines. Then it turns out apparently "scouting around" actually involves a lot of flying around and killing machines. 9S was just casually slaughtering the air defenses of the factory while 2B stopped to admire the birds, and I found that kind of funny. I feel like Id is being a little too harsh on our boy Nines. He gets stuff done, even if he usually gets owned doing so.

The difference between YoRHa and the machines is that YoRHa have to manually save and certain spots, and machines have constantly updating auto-saves as long as they're connected to the network.

For us, 9S has changed and grown and befriended machines and even saved the world. But for the character, he's back to being his old racist corncob self. He's lost his connection to us, the player.

I'm gonna say it right now, god I loving hate this Route. Mostly because playing as 9S is so goddamned boring. I"d rather wail on a dude for a minute or two than just push triangle and kill them.
